How We Work
Big Uppa Sky Studios operates through three connected creative pathways — mobile lab, studio HQ, and community partnership spaces.
The BUS Bus — Creativity Anywhere
Our mobile studio brings tools, tech, and hands-on making directly to neighborhoods, schools, and community spaces.
BUS Studio HQ — Where Ideas Take Shape
Our home workshop is where we film, record, design, edit, and prep bigger projects. It’s the engine that powers our public experiences.
BUS Satellite Community Studios
We partner with boroughs, libraries, and community groups to activate temporary creative spaces — helping local programs bring hands-on experiences to families and students.
